4. Which of the following best describes the difference between research utilization and
l l l l l l l l l l l
EBP?
l
a. Research utilization is a process of evaluating multiple studies for the most gene l l l l l l l l l l l fi l
ralizable findings; EBP is use of the most recent study on a topic.
l l l l l l l l l l l l l

b. Research utilization involves changing practice based on findings of a single l l l l l l l l l l
research study; EBP is the syntheses of findings from multiple studies to in

c. Research utilization is the application of research findings to health care practice l l l l l l l l l l l

l l l l l l l
d. Research utilization is review of research publications; EBP is using the healthca re l l l l l l l l l l l l
